March 2010 encounter

March 13, 2010
The school year was in its closing stage.  Early that morning, I still attended to the breakfast needs of my youngest son. My eldest son, a college student was still asleep at the master's bedroom.
Like any normal school day morning, after the day's blessings, I conducted my youngest son to our gate on his way to school. I then went back to the house after to wake up my eldest son.  My alarm rang 7am and it was the wake-up call for my eldest son. While I was negotiating the 2nd turn on our stairs towards the 2nd floor for the master's bedroom(our stairs has 3 turns, 4 parts), my eyes caught a pair of slim legs going down the 3rd portion of the stairs, 6 steps away. It was a quick 2 seconds-sight and I immediately figured out that the pair of legs were those of a stranger as it didn't resemble my eldest son's built.  My eldest son is heavy-built at 200lbs and these were of someone very slim and light weight...maybe about 120-130lbs or so only. Noticeably, the pair of legs were blooded as if its skin was peeled off...it was dark with blood as if they were burned. My immediate reaction was to look up to see whose it was(it was instinct, done without a thought reacting to the presence of the glanced-sight). But, it was gone. Without stopping, I continued going up the stairs in a normal manner but felt the presence clashing my body as we were at the same path.   The sight played back in my mind as I continued towards the master's bedroom to wake-up my eldest son. Deep in my heart, I prayed for the person whoever it was.
At breakfast, my eldest son mentioned that while lying down in bed before sleeping about 1am, he saw a vision at the cloth frame decor hanged at one of walls of the master's bedroom. The vision revealed two persons at a window with metal bars trying to get out and crying for help. There was fire at their background. The window's metal bars barred the persons from getting out. My eldest son said although it was a horrible site, he was not afraid. He was unable to see the persons' faces because of the fire's glare at the background. He didn't want to bother me so, he just closed his eyes, said his night prayers and went to sleep.
I shared too my encounter at the stairs that sounded like the two occurrence were related as the legs that I saw had burned skin. We felt those were souls asking for prayers.
After school that day, my eldest son shared his classmate's sad experience. His uncle's house was gutted down by fire 1am last night. His uncle, aunt and the house helper were trapped inside the house during the fire and died. I had goose-bumps upon hearing the story. I never realized that the news over the radio the whole day about the 3 fatalities of the burned house(15 minutes away from our residence) was a close relative of my son's classmate. It was easy to conclude that the vision of my son and my encounter were not just a random occurrence but a direct contact aimed to ask for prayers. The souls' connection was the classmate of my son. I immediately asked my son to get the names of the deceased. From then on, they've been included in our constant prayers for the Souls in Purgatory.
My co-prayer warrior's statement that we become magnets or beacons for the Souls of Purgatory asking for prayers proved to be right again this time.

Friends, please say a prayer for the eternal repose of souls mentioned in this Post.  Their names were couple, Manuel and Norma and house-helper, Joy. Thank you and may God bless you and your family...and most especially the Souls whom you pray for.
